More quotes by Layne Staley
Every article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this - that ain't my title.
Layne Staley
People have the right to ask questions and dig deep when you're hurting people and things around you, but when I haven't talked to anyone in years, and every single article I see is dope this, junkie that, whiskey this- that ain't my title...my bad habits aren't my title. My strengths and talents are my title.
Layne Staley
It was all about music, about getting your friends to come and see you play. I don't see that same intimacy happening very much today.
Layne Staley
I don't think any drug that can cause brain damage, failing kidneys, hardening arteries, pain, and suffering should be made available.
Layne Staley
My bed isn't made, I'm tired, I haven't slept well for two weeks. I haven't been laid in a month. I don't have a girlfriend. I have a warrant for my arrest.
Layne Staley
I started out when I was about 12, playing drums. I started singing when I was about 15.

Drugs will have a huge effect on my work for the rest of my life, whether I'm using or not.
Layne Staley
I'm not doing well. Don't try to talk about this to my sister Liz. She will know it sooner or later.
Layne Staley
I'm not into religion, but I have a good grasp on my spirituality. I just believe that I'm not the greatest power on this earth. I didnt create myself, because I would have done a hell of a better job.
Layne Staley
Sure God's all powerful, but does he have lips?
Layne Staley
You my friend,I will defend,and if we change well, I love you anyway.
Layne Staley
I haven't read anything but regurgitated rumors. Nothing new, and nothing true.
Layne Staley
I'm not using drugs to get high like many people think. I know I made a big mistake when I started using this sh-. It's a very difficult thing to explain. My liver is not functioning and I'm throwing up all the time and shitting my pants. The pain is more than you can handle. It's the worst pain in the world. Dope sick hurts the entire body.
Layne Staley
Our perception of songs that we've written... the meaning changes from day to day... to whatever stage we're at in our life and careers.
Layne Staley
Los Angeles, I don't like that town. Too decadent, and it's slimy.
Layne Staley
Drugs are not the way to the light. They won't lead to a fairy-tale life, they lead to suffering.
Layne Staley
There's no huge, deep message in any of the songs. We recorded a few months of being human.
Layne Staley
I wrote about drugs, and I didn't think I was being unsafe or careless by writing about them. I didn't want fans to think heroin was cool. But then I've had fans come up to me and give me the thumbs up, telling me they're high. That's exactly what I didn't want to happen.
Layne Staley
I don't take part in it the way I used to-the bimbos, the free beers, free drugs, all that. That's still there if you want it, but I don't really seek that out any more.
Layne Staley
The songs are about things that we were thinking and we wrote 'em down, and when you listen to 'em, whatever you think it's about... THAT'S what it's about!
Layne Staley
